Behind the Movie Awara: Hero Karthi fresh from the success of ‘Yuganiki Okkadu’ is a killer performer joined hands with action director Lingusamy known for movies like Run and Pandem Kodi in Telugu. Milk babe Tamanna riding too high in Tamil sky is the awesome beauty of this ‘Awara’ package with music from Yuvan Shankar Raja. Let us see, what did this ‘Awara’ the Tamil dubbed ‘Paiyaa’ did in Telugu?
Awara is a romantic and a sweet love story that develops on a journey in a car. Siva (Karthi) is struck by Charu (Tammanah's) beauty at first sight and he follows her. A chance meeting leads to serendipity, he is delighted at having her on the journey and thereon the plot moves fast.
The first half of the film is very engaging, with most of the conversations in the car and between the hero and his friends on the phone. The long drive doesn't look tedious, with characters being introduced, history being revealed and brawls, big fights, a lot of chasing, etc. One noticeable part of the story is that there are too many fights interrupting and the focus shifts from the hero wanting to disclose his love to him getting engaged in fighting the baddies.
The latter half of the film continues with two warring groups baying for the lead pair's love and blood. Once that has been settled, it's love matter again. The beauty of any love story is how and when a person expresses his love to the lady, but here after all the arduous moments the lead pair go through one would want to see how the reticent hero breaks ice, but the fun is lost with the friends doing the job for him.
Songs are sweet, good writing, cinematography makes the movie interesting. Slender beauty Tamannah with her wash board abs and tiny waists makes her presence felt, she doesn't have too many dialogues but despite that she gives in the required anxious expressions. Karthi's biggest plus point is that he looks so ordinary, like a guy next door, he lends an element of self assuredness to his character and steers the wheels confidently, becomes Tamannah's knight in shining armour with élan and ease, there is no high drama out there from his side, exhibits his personal style. He has his light-hearted one liners and is supported by a group of friends.
But the Telugu dialogues seem unsettling, it is laced with a slight Tamil accent. Milind Soman's appearance as one of the villain wipes out any monotony onscreen. FYI Awara is a cool entertainer, a nice drive recommended this summer.
Values of the Movie Awara: Lingusamy never takes up laborious stories, he believes in strong and action narration. May it be ‘Run or Pandem Kodi,’ you feel an incredible punch in the movie which is totally missed in ‘Awara.’ His story is thinner than wafer and script was very weak. Direction wise, there are few interesting action episodes and two well picturized songs but nothing more. Dialogues by Shashank Vennalakanti are just okay. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja was good for two songs and background score. Madi’s Cinematography was wonderful in songs and some intelligent and new camera angles were seen in action episodes. Editing by Antony was sharp only in second half.
Performance wise Karthi was versatile but there were few raw facial expressions. Stunts wise he was mindblowing and dances wise he was uncomfortable. Best part of the movie is Karthi’s self dubbing which gave new feel to character. Tamanna was again gorgeous looking in traditional and trendy costumes. In one of the song sequences, the way she swings her hip with hot navel sending down the vibrations, you fell flat for her. Hope she repeats it with Allu Arjun in ‘Badrinath’ for Telugu audience too. Milind Soman has a very short role while Sonia of ‘Happy Days’ fame is not worth mentioning. Remaining few artists are from Tamil land whom we doesn’t recognise much.
Out of the Movie Awara: Lingusamy’s typical racy script with action touch was missing in this 'Action mixed love story' Awara. Movie runs very slow in first half as audience leave the hall for interval with nothing in their minds. Second half was considerably dealt well with action episodes. Other than Tamanna and Karthi, none will have importance and none will impress you. Karthi needs to get developed in dances as his uneasy attitude was visible on screen. Tamanna will steal your heart and guys…she is hot. Action episodes are overtly dealt with wires which may not be liked by Telugu audience. Overall if Tamanna, Karthi, two songs, good cinematography are positives; weak script, no story line, exhaustive first half will drain the movie. Better part is that, length of ‘Awara’ was just two hours.
Manchu Manoj Kumar, who entered Tollywood with ‘Donga Dongadhi’ continued his journey with ups and downs before hitting a jackpot ‘Bindaas’. But the actual break in his career came with the film 'Nenu Meeku Telusa'. That fetched him good friends and now he is busy with handful of films with two of them about to be released. One being ‘Vedam’ by Krish and the other ‘Jhummandi Nadam’ by K Raghavendra Rao. His movie releases are the birthday gifts for him who celebrated his birthday on May 20th. On this occasion he shared a few moments with the press.
Manchu Manoj said that “Movie is my passion right from my childhood which scored over my studies but it took quite some time to reach a success platform with ‘Bindaas’ which is achieved after failures. With 100th day of ‘Bindaas’ approaching shortly I must thank everyone for the year that has given me a great success. This happiness is further multiplied by my active roles in the movies like ‘Vedam’, that is going to release shortly and ‘Jhummandi Nadam’.”
On his role in ‘Vedam’ in which he co-acted with Allu Arjun he said, “It is generally wrong to say that egos play vital role in accepting or rejecting multi-starrer films. No doubt the ego is part of everybody’s life, even you and me, and actors need not be separated. Well, when it comes to multi-starrer, it is generally the script and the role that matters which many times get fine tuned due to circumstances. So the directors at times are not in a position to maintain what is promised in the beginning. But this is the story of the past. Now things are different. There is better understanding and one knows very well what is his role and portion. In my case in ‘Vedam’ I’m aware of things very clearly and I never had any issues doing that part even if it is for a short span of time in the movie. Infact ‘Vedam’ is a very different movie where five different characters play their roles and ultimately reach a focal point where all of them have certain commanality making the movie further interesting. I’m satisfied with my role. Krish had further glorified the movie’s quality with his fantastic concept. It’s really a child’s play for him since it was a sincere desire to bring out whatever he dreamt of and that is the reason you will not find serious commercial elements in the movie.”
On songs in 'Vedam' he is of the opinion that the songs are on the lips of everybody even before the movie is released and exhibited confidence that the audience once they see the songs the impact will be much more.
On his co-stars in Vedam he was quick to say, “Allu Arjun, who has entertained his fans with his action packed performances is bringing out a real personality in him in this movie, so one would see a very different Allu Arjun in this film. It is really a challenging role for Anushka to portray a prostitute. This is the first time she has taken up one such role with great confidence. In general established heroines find it unnecessary to take such roles and Anushka’s bold attempt has been widely appreciated. She has taken the role very seriously and given her best.”
On his roles in his two current films he said, “My role in both the films due for release is that of a singer. One in ‘Vedam’ brings out a rock-star in me and the other extracts that of a classical singer from Bhadrachalam.”
When asked about his best experience in doing ‘Jhummandi Nadam’ he said, “It is fantastic to work with K Raghavendra Rao who has special abilities to extract the best out of anyone with his clear ideas and understandable expressions as well as way of presentation.”
On his future plans he said, “My forth coming film is ‘O Kodataara Ulikki Padataara’ under the direction of Rajasekhar who worked with Krishna Vamsi in the past. This film will be released with subtitles in English, Hindi and all South Indian languages.”
On his inspiration, “My dad has always been my inspiration. He is my role model for trying different films and experimenting with different roles. My goal is to become a complete actor and not a star. I’m ready for roles in negative shades. Very soon I will let you know the details about that film too.”
